Inad – Blue Nue

inad

Listen to relative unknown UK artist Inad and her inventively constructed track for “Blue Nue”. Featuring Inad’s ethereal, if oddly cheery vocal, and super cool stylistically diverse production (that guitar bit that comes in at 1:25 is next level), “Blue Nue”‘s imagination is indicative of an artist with outstanding potential.

Chicago native and spectacular vocal talent Eryn Allen Kane releases today her first original track online (she’s featured on/collaborated with Chance The Rapper, Saba, and others) “Have Mercy”. The minimalist track focuses Kane’s starmaking vocal to the forefront as the song’s cascading bits of vocal harmony and affecting runs highlight her talent also an arranger.

Trails and Ways – Say You Will

unnamed (2)

“Say You Will” is the second single from Oakland band Trails and Ways’ debut Pathology LP for Barsuk Records. Constructed on a rhythmic base of varying instrumental strata and layered syncopations, “Say You Will” finds T&W exploring a bit more beefed up side to their sound which we dig.

The sweeping “Come Over” is the latest from UK songwriter Alex Burey. The spacious heart-wringing track, somewhere between the mood of Pink Floyd’s “Us and Them” and the more delicate moments of Scott Walker’s discography, is the lead song from Burey’s upcoming EP, “Family Stone”, out June 13th.

Screen Shot 2015-04-24 at 14.55.31

The anthemic blue-eyed soul-y “Blue Honey” is the debut track from Londoner Jimi Charles Moody. Reminding a bit melodically in the verse of All Saints’ #1 “Never Ever”, “Blue Honey” is ebbs and soars through a tuneful set of organ-backed UK soul for the sum of its 3:18 duration.
